A substantial 2.1-acre freehold parcel on Salisbury Road offering genuine commercial and development optionality. Outline planning consent (2/2018/1773/OUT) already permits a wide mix of uses, including up to 135 dwellings and starter industrial units; the site is also consented for 30 light/general industrial or ancillary retail/builders’ merchant units with 102 car parking spaces. Its position on the A30 fringe of Shaftesbury gives ready road access while sitting adjacent to new and planned residential neighbourhoods.
This is a clear proposition for investors or developers seeking flexible income or redevelopment potential. The consented uses and nearby Persimmon residential scheme (P/RES/2023/05407 pending for 115 homes) increase local demand drivers for trade counter, light industrial lettings or mixed-use reuse. The site is freehold and being offered for sale on unconditional and conditional terms, allowing purchasers to choose how they acquire and progress schemes.
Buyers should note material constraints: the outline consent requires further reserved matters and technical approvals before detailed development, and part of the site is immediately bordered by existing residential properties. The commercial plot sits within a wider allocation and neighbouring parcels are marketed separately, so coordination with adjacent developments may affect phasing and access arrangements.
Practical advantages include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low crime levels and no flood risk. For the right buyer this is a rare, large-plot opportunity that can deliver industrial revenue, land value uplift through residential consent, or a mixed commercial-led scheme with strategic A30 connectivity.
